    About this audiobook

    A magical crime saga filled with marvelous thrills, high action, and extraordinary adventure, from critically acclaimed author Matthew J. Kirby.

    After Ben Warner is recruited to join a "science camp" led by the eccentric quantum physicist Dr. Madeleine Hughes, he quickly realizes it's no regular science camp. Along with his new friend, Peter, Ben discovers the secret, powerful art of Actuation -- the ability to change reality by simply imagining it differently.When a mysterious group of men invade Dr. Hughes's laboratory, abducting her and stealing her precious equipment, Ben and Peter are suddenly caught up in a turf war between dangerous actuators desperate for Dr. Hughes's innovative technology. And as Ben and Peter are pulled into a perilous, hidden world full of impossibilities now made possible, will their combined powers be enough to save Dr. Hughes and vanquish their enemies before it's too late?From Edgar Award-winning author Matthew J. Kirby comes a fast-paced, boldly imagined tale of friendship, deadly adventure, and the infinite power of imagination.

      I really hope their is a book 2 because as far as I know their isn’t one but spell rovers is listed as book 1. Also they should fix why it shows religious books when I search quantum league series.
    • 5/5
      Amazing wonderful and suspenseful can’t wait for the next book in series,although when i searched for the other books in the series it showed 4 unrelated religious books that didn’t even have the same author someone should proabaly fix that.

      What a fun book! I loved the characters and thought the plot was well developed. Ben goes to join a science club, but instead learns about "actuation", the ability to change reality by simply imagining it differently. When their teacher gets kidnapped, along with a device that can amplify actuations, Ben and his friends are forced into The Quantum League, a group of actuators who use their powers for good, to find them both,

      This book was action packed and a very quick read! The characters were likeable and the pacing was fast. The whole idea of actuation was fun to imagine, and was explained very well.

      I think this book would definitely appeal to the MG crowd, and to parents who want to read a fun book with their kids.

      5/5 stars.

      I would like to thank NetGalley, Scholastic Press, and Matthew Kirby for the opportunity to read and review this book.
